Republicans Panic: Dem Sweeps!

Virginians elected a Democrat as their governor

They won 1 of 3 contest for this off year election. The city of New York welcomes Bill de Blasio, the first Democratic mayor in 20 years.

The Democrat landslides Republican Joe Lhota in a race that centered around the "I'M NOT MICHAEL BLOOMBERG" theme. Bloomberg, a former Republican who became an independent won three terms as New York's mayor. During his three terms, he became an advocate for gun control, curbing sugar and salt in restaurants, an increase on fares, an increase on cigarettes, curbing obesity in children, NYPD's stop and frisk policy (and Muslim extremist counter intelligence).

Some of these endorsements from Bloomberg were extremely controversial.

In a fiercely contested Democratic primary, former Congressman Anthony Weiner was hoping to make a political comeback. All of that soured when it was revealed that he was sexting a woman his privates. Yeah, the very same stuff that drummed him out of Congress.

In the closely watched race in the new BELLWEATHER state of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe is now the governor-elect. McAuliffe defeats Ken Cuccinelli, the state's attorney general. It became one of the most contentious races out there. Both candidates were politically weak but McAuliffe managed to tie Cuccinelli with the extremist within the Republican Party (aka TEA PARTY).

The Democratic Party is getting their groove back. Despite the Republican onslaught against the Affordable Care Act's website, it didn't help them win. The government shutdown really put damages on the brand.

The stallmigos Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz tried to helped Cuccinelli but failed.

Perennial losers Mitt Romney and Ron Paul's coat tails didn't help either.
I'll drink to that! - Gov-Elect Terry McAuliffe.
Republicans can at least say they have Governor Chris Christie (incumbent, governor-elect) as a victory. But you know how Republicans feel about Christie. They hate him because he embraced President Barack Obama during Superstorm Sandy.

Republicans still searching for that rainbow!

They can't find that niche. They have no real leaders in the party.

President Barack Obama warned Republicans that supporting these extremists will result to defeat. King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh), That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (Sean Hannity), That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall (Matt Drudge), and Loserville (Fox News) catered to extremists.

Don't be surprised to see Democrats lining up opponents that could defeat the Republican controlled House of Representatives.
